Though  the  name  of  the  editor  does 
not  appear,  it  is  understood  that 
George  Bird  Grinnell,  president  pro 
temore  of  the  Audubon  Society,  organ- 
ized February,  1886,  had  general  su- 
pervision, with  Charles  F.  Emory,  gen- 
eral secretary.  Unfortunately  this 
philanthropic  movement  proved  abor- 
tive, possibly  owing  to  its  connection 
with  a  paper  devoted  to  the  hunting 
of  game.  Each  number  contains  an 
uncolored  and  reduced  plate  after  Au- 
dubon. The  text  includes  a  number 
of  original  articles.  Biographies  of 
Audubon  and  Wilson,  the  latter  by 
Helen  V.  Austin,  and  signed  papers

very  well  adapted  to  the  use  of  the  pri- 
mary school.  The  colored  figures  of 
birds  have  little  artistic  merit,  but 
they  are,  for  the  most  part  identifiable 
and  offered  remarkably  cheap.  A  bet- 
ter grouping  or  arrangement  of  sub-

creased its  usefulness.

year  since  1856,  to  devote  an  evening

meetings  were  held  at  the  residences

D.  L.  Foxhall's  article  on  the  Chuck- 
V  'I's  widow,  appeared  in  the  initial 
number,  and  in  the  suppressed  number. 
H.  R.  Taylor's  notes  on  a  collecting 
trip  to  Donner,  Placier  Co..  Cal.,  where 
he  found  nesting  the  Mountain  Chick- 
adee, White-headed  Woodpecker, 
White-crowned  Sparrow,  Western 
Robin  and  Blue-fronted  Jay.  Perhaps 
my  copy  is  unique!  There  appears  on 
the  front  page  in  the  handwriting  of 
the  editor,  "Do  not  reprint  any  of 
these  articles  in  your  paper  at  pres- 
ent, as  I  wish  to  reprint  them  in  the 
first  issue  of  my  new  magazine  (Col- 
lectors' Illustrated  Magazine),  as  they 
were  written  for  this  magazine,  none 
of  which  were  sent  out  owing  princi- 
pally to  the  many  blunders  made  in 
the  advertisements  and  only  450 
copies  were  printed  when  there  should 
have  been  1000."

the  time  on  a  small  hand  press,  with 
something  like  300  subscribers,  it  was

the  original  typewritten  manuscript.

sible that  the  volume  ran  to  12  num-

that  the  "Naturalist"  was  a  continu-

The  subscription  was  reduced  to  25 
cents  during  the  fourth  year,  with  a 
circulation  of  7,000,  and  the  16  pages 
were  doubled  by  the  addition  of  a 
second  half  to  each  number.  Two  edi-

scribers' on  heavy  paper,  and  an  ad- 
vertising on  light  paper. 

Ran  into  the  17th  year,  at  least,  the 
last  I  have  seen  is  dated  Jan.,  No.  140, 
1893.  While  the  prftss  work  can 
scarcely  be  commended,  the  contents 
Is  more  or  less  interesting  to  the  orni- 
thologist, especially  during  the  earlier 
volumes;  later  the  extensive  lists  of 
scientific  literature  are  its  chief  value.

Suspended,  subscriptions  filled  by 
the  "Popular  Science  Monthly."  The 
place  made  vacent  by  the  defunct  "O. 
&  O."  was  almost  immediately  filled 
by  the  "Nidiologist."  In  December, 
1894,  the  subscription  was  increased  to 
$1.50,  and  so  remained  the  balance  of 
the  volume.  From  March,  1895,  to 
April,  1896,  it  was  published  in  New 
York  City,  Following  the  criticism  of 
Dr.  Coues,  the  superfluous  "i"  was  re- 
moved from  the  title,  December,  1895, 
and  marked  the  advent  of  a  new  cover 
design.  Dr.  Shufeldt  became  associated 
with  the  editor  May,  1895,  and  severed 
his  connections  simultaneously  with 
the  withdrawal  of  the  new,  and  the 
reappearance  of  the  original  cover  de- 
sign. With  the  beginning  of  third  vol- 
ume became  Official  Organ  of  the 
Cooper  Ornithological  Club. 

Nos.  2  and  3  of  the  initial  volume

This  is  the  pioneer  amateur  oologi- 
cal  iieriodical  of  America.  S.  L.  Wil- 
lard,  a  typical  American  boy  of  about 
sixteen  years,  after  conducting  an  orni- 
thological department  in  '"The  Reper- 
tory," a  western  amateur  i)aper,  be- 
came convinced  of  the  need  of  a  serial 
devoted  to  birds  and  their  eggs,  and 
without  help,  no  money  and  little  ex- 
perience, engaged  the  services  of  an 
unemployed  ])rinter.  and  began  the 
l)ublication  of  this  little  i)aper.  The 
first  two  issues  were  not  only  typo- 
graphical failures,  printed  with  coarse 
type  on  thin  i)a])er  with  scant  margin 
and  the  headings  all  set  uji  in  type,  but 
the  subject  matter  trite  and  of  too 
manifold  nature,  needless  to  state  it 
received  severe  criticism,  and  the  dis- 
couraged editor  at  a  loss  to  jiav  the 
printer,  withdrew  the  iniblication. 
However,  several  inquiries  for  sample 
cojties  from  surprisingly  remote  local- 
ities and  one  or  two  press  notices, 
awakened  a  fresh  determination  to 
proceed  For  the  third  number,  he 
invested  in  a  bit  of  engravers'  box- 
wood   anil    carved    a    heading,    at    the 


same  time  he  added  a  small  font  of 
type,  sufficient  to  compose  a  single 
page,  and  negotiated  with  a  boy  friend 
to  print  it  on  his  press,  one  page  at  a 
time.  F'ive  numbers  were  issued  in 
this  way  during  spare  hours  from 
school,  when  his  friend  having  dispos- 
ed of  his  iiress,  it  became  necessary  to 
do  the  printing  elsewhere.  From  his 
plans,  a  local  blacksmith  built  a  i)ress 
with  a  eai)acity  of  just  one  page,  on 
which  the  next  four  numbers  were 
I)rinted. 

It  must  be  remembered  that  tie  edi- 
tor was  under  the  necessity  of  com- 
posing the  bulk  of  the  reading  matter, 
particularly  in  the  early  volumes  be- 
fore the  paiier  had  many  contributors. 
Beside  writing  under  his  own  name, 
he  i)ublished  his  own  compositions  in 
the  form  of  essays  for  the  editorial 
pages,  Under  the  non  de  iilume  of 
"Ovum"  he  published  a  series  of  pap- 
ers entitled  "Birds"  Nests  and  Eggs," 
which  ran  for  three  years,  having  for 
its  inspiration  a  similar  series  by  J. 
A.  Whitley  in  "Amateur  Age."  Con- 
siderable also  appeared  over  the  name 
of  "Avis."  Over  fifty  woodcuts  during 
the  series,  most  of  them  wholly  the 
work  of  this  enthusiast  (exce])t  a  few 
bearing  the  signature  of  S.  Pryor, 
sculptor)  very  crude  work  of  course 
but  showing  great  industry.  Volume 
IT,  and  most  of  volume  III  were  printed 
on  a  large  amateur  press  he  had  pur- 
chased, and  the  balance  up  to  the  first 
four  numbers  of  volume  V,  on  a  better 
and  larger  press  which  he  also  used 
for  job  printing.  Beginning  with  the 
fourth  volume,  the  i)eriodical  attained 
to  the  dignity  of  a  cover  and  an  en- 
graved design  which  is  best  described 
in  the  words  of  the  i)roud  engraver: 
"In  the  foreground,  across  the  lower 
corner  of  the  cover,  api)ear  three  eggs 
strung  uiion  a  straw.  A  pair  of  Hawks 
have  chosen  a  delightful  position  for 
their  nest  in  the  tree  near  the  shore 
of  the  lake;  the  motherly  Duck  has 
nested  early  and  is  leading  her  little 
family  into  the  reeds:  the  Egrit  and 
Sandpipers  are  indesjiensible  adiuncts 
to  pleasure  upon  water;  the  Ruffed 
Grouse  are  both  drummin.g;  the  Bubo 
virginianus  knows  verv  little  about 
any  Snowy  Owl;  a  bird  of  prev,  prob- 
ably an  Eagle,  appears  just  over  the 
horizon,  a  number  of  graceful  Swal- 
lows skim  through  the  air,  and  the 
Downy    Woodpecker  has    found    some- 


-21— 


thing  upon  the  tree  that  seems  to  en- 
gage its  attention." 

On  January,  1876,  the  subscription 
was  reduced  to  40  cents,  and  raised  to 
60  cents  at  the  beginning  of  volume 
IV.  With  the  November,  1879,  issue, 
Jos.  M.  Wade  undertook  its  publica- 
tion, S.  L.  Willard  becoming  assistant 
editor,  and  the  last  eight  numbers 
were  issued  from  the  office  of  a  reg- 
ular printer,  with  Rockville,  Conn.,  as 
the  place  of  publication.  The  five  vol- 
umes required  just  six  years  to  pub- 
lish. This  little  magazine,  though  of- 
ten quoted,  is  quite  scarce.  I  know  of 
only  two  or  three  complete  sets  in  ex- 
istence, one  set  collected  recently,  af- 
ter much  personal  energy,  advertising

outlay  of  almost  $50  in  cash.  The  first 
three  volumes  are,  of  course,  the  scar- 
cest: worth  from  $10  to  $15  each.  The 
privilege  of  examining  a  complete  file 
I  owe  to  Mr.  R.  M.  Barnes. 

Probably  the  bulk  of  the  con- 
tributions should  be  accredited 
to  the  editors.  Among  the  most 
prominent  or  prolific  are:  W.  T.

"Guaranteed  circulation  3000."  This 
magazine  had  quite  a  checkered  ca- 
reer. With  the  December,  1894,  num- 
ber, it  was  consolidated  with  "The 
Naturalist"  of  Austin,  Texas,  and  that 
issue  and  vol.  2,  no.  1,  only  appeared 
under  the  latter  title;  the  subscrip- 
tion was  advanced  to  50  cents,  Febru- 
ary, ]S95,  A.  B.  Averill  became  editor, 
and  in  March  it  announced  that  the 
North-Western  Ornithological  Associa- 
tion had  made  it  the  official  organ;  Dr. 
C.  C.  Purdum  became  associated  with 
the  editor,  which  he  retained  until  it 
again  changed  hands  November,  1890, 
to  John  Martin,  Palestine,  Oregon,  and 
the  subscription  lowered  to  25  cents, 
and  the  Avocet  engraving  was  replac- 
eod  by  the  seal  of  the  State  of  Oregon 
for  the  first  four  numbers  of  the  last 
volume.     Suspended. 

Among  the  contributors  are  A.  B.

seem  to  indicate  an  issue  between  nos. 


2  and  6,  probably  a  no.  3  for  June,  but 
no  more  according  to  my  information. 
With  the  fourth  number,  Willard  N. 
Clute  became  editor,  and  the  price  was 
increased  to  3.j  cents.  At  the  end  of 
the  year  300  copies  of  the  title  and  in- 
dex were  printed,  indicating  about  the 
circulation  at  this  time.  It  was  then 
transferred  to  Letson  Balliet  and  Wil- 
liam S.  Sanford,  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  and 
they  became  the  editors  and  publish- 
ers, raising  the  subscription  to  50 
cents.  The  periodical  speedily  degen- 
erated under  the  new  management. 
Extravagant  claims  were  made  in  re- 
spect to  the  circulation.  After  pub- 
lishing a  single  number,  the  price  was 
advanced  to  $1.00  a  year,  10  cents  a 
copy,  and  William  S.  Sanford  &  Co. 
editors  and  publishers:  and  the  final 
issue  with  the  Ornithologist  and  Bot-

The  first  two  numbers  edited  by  Wal- 
ter A.  Johnson  and  Dr.  A.  C.  Murchi- 
son,  the  California  department  by  Don- 
ald A.  Cohen,  the  latter  in  place  of 
Chester  Barlow  as  originally  announc- 
ed in  the  April  prospectus;  and  this 
periodical  also  published  the  proceed- 
ings of  the  Michigan  Ornithological 
Club.  After  the  second  number  edited 
by  Walter  A.  Johnson  alone  until  Dr. 
Coues  became  associated  with  him 
March,  1897,  'and  the  place  of  publica- 
tion removed  to  141  East  25th  St.,  New 
York  City.  At  the  instance  of  Dr. 
Coues,  it  was  purchased  by  Dr.  Theo- 
dore Gill,  and  removed  to  Washington, 
D.  C.  October,  1899,  and  the  latter  two 
gentlemen  became  the  editors,  with 
Walter  A.  Johnson,  associate,  and 
Louis  Agassiz  Fuertes  art  editor.  Dr. 
Gill,  who  had  withdrawn  from  the 
April  and  May  numbers,  again  assum- 
ed the  editorship  by  June,  upon  the 
retirement  of  Dr.  Coues. 

Vol.  V,  No.  2,  the  editors  were  Dr. 
Theodore  Gill  in  collaboration  with 
Robert  Ridgway,  Leonard  Stejneger, 
Frederic  A  Lucas,  Charles  W.  Rich- 
mond, Paul  Barlsch,  William  Palmer 
and  Harry  C.  Oberholser,  of  Washing- 
ton, and  Witmer  Stone  of  Philadelphia. 
The  only  change  made  in  the  new  ser- 
ies was  the  elevation  of  Paul  Bartsch 
to  chief  editorship  with  Dr.  Gill. 

Among  the  special  features  "Wil- 
liam Swainson  and  His  Times,"  "The 
Osprey  or  Fishhawk:  Its  Characteris- 
tics and  Habits,"  and  as  a  supplement 
to  the  final  volume:  "General  History 
of  Birds,"  all  by  Dr.  Gill.  This  by  far 
the  most  brilliant  of  the  minor  orni- 
thological periodicals,  in  all  that  goes 
to  make  a  success,  was  nevertheless 
a  failure.  Volume  I  is  very  scarce  and 
worth  about  $fi.on.

The  original  title  was:  The  West- 
American  Scientist,  but  the  hyphen 
was  discarded  after  the  fifth,  and  a 
cover  assumed  by  the  seventh  num- 
ber. With  the  exception  of  volume  six, 
1889.  which  was  published  by  Samuel 
Carson  &  Co.,  San  Francisco,  C.  R. 
Orcutt  was  both  editor  and  publisher. 
No  title  page  and  index  appears  with 
the  succeeding  volumes.  In  complet- 
ing a  file,  one  discovers  a  number  of 
typographical  errors  in  dating  and 
enumeration,  not  all  numbers  have 
covers,  and  the  stock  is  apt  to  be  in- 
ferior. Enumeration  of  volumes  ten 
and  eleven  may  appear  intricate;  of 
the  former,  from  the  last  half  of  num- 
ber 93,  to  100,  there  is  nothing  to  dis- 
tinguish the  number  or  date  of  pub- 
lication unless  the  separate  sheets 
happen  to  be  placed  in  covers:  some- 
times, lacking  the  first  41  pages  of  the 
full  volume,  it  may  be  found  inclosed 
in  a  cover  entitled:  "Botany  of  South- 
ern California."  a  reference  work  by 
Charles  Russell  Orcutt.  Numbers  84, 
87  and  89  of  volume  XI  are  entitled: 
West  American  Scientist. 

This  irregularly  appearing  little 
journal  has  outlived  the  great  major- 
ity, and  is  a  monument  to  the  indus- 
try and  perseverance  of  Proprietor  C. 
R.    Orcutt,   the   editor  and   chief   con-

tributor  along  botanical  lines.  I  am 
uninformed  in  respect  to  the  circula-

continued  by  the  publishers.  Many  of 
the  early  issues  are  exceedingly 
scarce.  The  ornithological  notes  ap-
